SynView_ConfigureTimer

Basic

Module: ThirdParty

Configures one of the internal hardware timers available in the camera.

Name Type Range Description
Input value
 inDeviceID String* Tries to find the camera in all available IDs (UserID, VendorName, ModelName...)
Input value
 inTimerSelector SynViewTimerSelector Timer selector
Input value
 inTimerDuration Integer 0 - Sets the duration (in microseconds) of the timer active pulse.
Input value
 inTimerDelay Integer 0 - Sets the delay (in microseconds) applied between activating the timer and issuing the timer active signal
Input value
 inTimerTriggerSource SynViewTimerTriggerSource Internal device signal activating the selected timer.

Description

Advanced digital outputs configuration

The timer has a configurable Timer Delay and Timer Duration parameters (both in us).

Timers can be used to control digital outputs. In such case, the Line Source in SynView_ConfigureDigitalIO has to be set to e.g. Timer1Active (when inTimerSelector is Timer1).

The delay defines, how long after the timer's start the camera asserts the output.

The duration defines, how long the output stays active.

Remarks

The number of timers available depends on the camera model. Timer1 can be assumed to be present.

For convenience, this filter may be invoked in the main program loop, without significant impact on the performance.

Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install SynView SDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

SynView SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://net-gmbh.com/en/machine-vision/products/software

To verify the driver installation, you can run SynView Explorer (in the directory where camera drivers where installed). If the camera was detected and you can see the view from the camera, you can use SynView camera SDK in Aurora Vision Studio.

Recommended SynView SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 1.03.010.

Camera identification

When there is only one camera connected, the field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this situation, the first available camera will be used.

inDeviceID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to the computer. DeviceID can be set to:

  • UserID - User ID (also known as nickname) of the selected device,
  • VendorName - Name of the manufacturer of the device,
  • ModelName - Model name of the device,
  • DisplayName - Device display name,
  • IPAddress - Current IP address of the selected device (GigE Vision devices only),
  • MACAddress - MAC address of the selected device (GigE Vision devices only),
  • SerialNumber - String representation of camera's unique serial number.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Basic Complexity Level.

Disabled in Lite Edition

This filter is disabled in Lite Edition. It is available only in full, Aurora Vision Studio Professional version.
